‘Jennifer Body’ Sequel Confirmed: “I Think We’re Making Another One”

Amanda Seyfried is apparently returning for the “Jennifer’s Body” sequel, which the actress seems to have confirmed is now in the works.

Although it had been hinted about for the past five years, “Jennifer’s Body 2” was never actually in development, let alone greenlit by 20th Century. Writer Diablo Cody had expressed interest in revisiting the story, stating, “I wanna do a sequel. I am not done with Jennifer's Body."

Additionally, director Karyn Kusama had shown enthusiasm for the project, saying, "I would love to revisit that world."

While these comments suggested a willingness to continue the saga, no concrete plans had been announced. However, Seyfried’s latest comments (“I think we’re making one”) indicate a development having occurred.

Released in 2009, “Jennifer’s Body,” which starred Megan Fox, barely made a dent at the box office, but 15 years later, and thanks to home video, the film is considered, in some circles, as a horror classic.

Seyfried starred as Needy, whose best friend Jennifer (Fox) is sacrificed by the lead singer (Adam Brody) of a band touring through town - she ends up turning into a flesh eating predator who preys on unsuspecting boys to survive.

The film blended sharp wit and horror, creating a dark commentary on the dangers of unchecked desire and the complexities of 21st century feminism. I liked it in 2009, and I still like it today — it was ahead of its time; a wickedly entertaining post-modern satire.

Kusama hasn’t directed a film in over seven years, she’s been keeping busy with television projects, serving as an executive producer on “Yellowjackets,” but I had reported a few months about her having been in talks to direct ‘Jennifer’s Body 2.’ Her other notable directing credits include “The Invitation,” “Girlfight” and “Destroyer.”
